Anyone in UK remember anything like that?


Another thing we always had in the home was Mecca Ointment. It was for "everything".

Also, there was a little bottle of red stuff that mom would put on a scrach if we got hurt a bit out playing. mecuricome or something like that.

PS: This is a fun thread, brings back lovely memories. I haven't read all of it yet, but I will.

Mounstevens' apple doughnuts with lemon icing. Russian slices, made with left over cakes a bakers called Lutons used to make them.

I still have a bottle of MacKensie's smelling salts, ready for when I see a nice beard
